Connective Tissue of Muscles
Deep Fascia- sheet of dense irregular connective tissue
- surrounds the entire muscle, to hold it together, seperating it from other muscles

Epimysium- connective tissue wrapper directly beneath the deep fascia that surrounds the entire muscle

Fascicles- many bundles of muscle fibers

Perimysium- connective cover that surrounds each fascicle

Endomysium- connective tissue that wraps around each individual muscle fiber cell

Tendon- combination of Epimysium, Perimysium, and Endomysium at the end of a muscle. Attaches to bone.
